Plant tulip bulbs from October to mid-December, once the weather has cooled. Until then, store them somewhere cool, dry and safely away from mice and squirrels.
'Holland Chic'
Tulip 'Holland Chic' is a real stunner. Its goblet-shaped flowers are white, and beautifully marked with, at first, light pink which deepens as the bloom matures, to a rich sugar- or fuchsia-pink. Eventually, near enough the whole flower turns to a gorgeous warm pink. The more bulbs that are planted close together, the more amazing the overall look will be. The green colouring of the foliage and flower stalks deceive the eye, by seeming to make the flower colours even brighter. Not only this, but each elegant flower has lovely, graceful pointed reflexed petals.
The blooms are held strongly upright on 45cm high stalks. Allow Tulip 'Holland Chic' to take your spring garden display to the next level! It is superb when planted with other pastel-coloured and white tulips, and is ideal for patio pots as well as beds and borders. Tulip 'Holland Chic' is in the tulip Division 6, officially named a Lily-flowered Tulip.

Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and around 10cm apart. You can leave a little more space between them in borders.
Water once after planting to settle the soil. Border-grown tulips rarely need further watering, but containers should be kept lightly moist and never waterlogged.
Remove faded flowers, then allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This helps the bulbs store energy for the following year.
